Primo PDF will create PDF files from any printable Windows files (documents, images etc.). Allows to edit document metadata or properties such as author name, title, subject and protect PDF file with a password. It works as a virtual printer that, once is selected, will not print anything on paper, but instead will write and save a PDF file, no matter what file format the source file is.

1. Desktop standalone interface

From interface you can change settings and save them.

3. Put password on PDF

Allows to protect your PDF file with a password; in this way, if someone try to open generated PDF file and does not have the password, cannot view its content.

6. Test result

I have used a Word file with images and text, the PDF file resulted was exactly like original Word file, so this program it makes a good job. The file size of PDF file was reasonable.
